Experience the very best of Russia on this fascinating tour from Moscow to St Petersburg

Travel to Russia and experience a country where extreme landscapes, diverse cultures and turbulent histories coexist. From Siberia’s rustic villages to the beautiful canals and Baroque architecture of St Petersburg, and the church domes of medieval Suzdal to the sombre, bloody history of Yekaterinburg, Russia fascinates and captivates all those who travel within its vast lands. Visit crumbling cathedrals, over-the-top palaces, colourful wooden cottages, stark Soviet monuments and world-renowned museums on this incredible Russia Experience tour.

Day 1-2 Moscow

Day 3 Suzdal

Stroll medieval streets filled with quaint cottages and see crumbling cathedrals in dazzling Suzdal, a former Russian capital within the legendary Golden Ring. Get creative during a matryoshka (nesting Russian doll) painting lesson and learn how to cook delicious local specialties in a family home.

Day 4-6 Kazan

Listen to the sounds of the Tatar language floating through the streets of Kazan. Enjoy a guided tour of Kul Sharif Mosque, which features blue-tiled domes and white-tile façades.

Day 7-9 Yekaterinburg

Hear the tragic tale of the Romanovs, the last Russian royal family, in the city where they were exiled and finally executed - Yekaterinburg.

Day 10-11 Tobolsk/Pokrovskoye

Journey into Siberia and discover beguiling weather-frayed houses and meandering lanes in Tobolsk's Old Town. After a guided tour of the kremlin and the Office of Nicholas II, hop aboard a village bus to Pokrovskoye - the home of Rasputin.

Day 12-14 St Petersburg

Travel to Tyumen and from there fly out to St Petersburg. Explore the city’s baroque European architecture, magnificent royal palaces, epic cathedrals and multitude of museums on a guided tour. Admire Peter the Great's ghoulish collection of oddities at the Kunstkamera, Russia’s first museum, or head down to Aleksandr Nevsky Lavra to visit the final resting place of Russia’s great writer, Dostoyevsky.
